When it's worth doing

Before you buy a house

A lateral replacement is one of the larger unexpected costs a new homeowner can hit, and it isn't covered by a standard home inspection. On a pre-1970 East Bay home, an inspection before close is cheap insurance.

Before you sell

If your property is in an EBMUD sewer lateral community, a compliance certificate is generally required at sale. Finding out early turns it into a planned line item instead of something that stalls escrow. More on compliance here.

When the same line keeps backing up

Clearing a line that blocks repeatedly is treating a symptom. The camera tells you whether it's roots at a joint, a broken section, a belly holding water, or something lodged.

Before anyone digs

We don't quote a lateral repair from guesswork. The camera decides whether it's a spot repair, a trenchless liner, or a full replacement — and the difference between those is thousands of dollars.

Our installation promise

Every price covers a standard installation — equipment installed or replaced where the existing water, gas, electrical and venting are already in place and to code.

What we commit to

If your setup needs work beyond the standard install, we tell you before we start — the difference in writing, for you to approve

If you'd rather not proceed at that point, you cancel and we refund in full

Five-year warranty on our workmanship

Full manufacturer warranty on the equipment — we're an authorized dealer, and we handle the claims for you

Permit pulled and inspection met where the work requires it

Old equipment hauled away and the area left clean

What we ask from you

Accurate information about your setup when you order — fuel type, location, and anything unusual about access

Clear access to the work area, with pets secured, on the scheduled day

Someone 18 or over at the property to approve the work and accept the install

At least 24 hours' notice to reschedule, so the slot can go to someone else

Payment on completion, as agreed before we started

Special-order equipment is ordered specifically for you, so cancellations after it ships may carry the supplier's restocking fee. We'll tell you before ordering if that applies.

Short version: no surprises from us, no surprises from you.

Sewer Camera Inspection questions

Do I get the video?

Yes, it's yours. Useful for a real estate transaction or a second opinion.

How long does it take?

Usually under an hour unless access is difficult.

What if you don't find anything wrong?

Then we tell you that and you've spent a small amount for real peace of mind. We're not going to invent a problem.

Do you need a cleanout?

It's much easier with one. If your house doesn't have one, we'll discuss options before starting.
